The Iranian Hostage Crisis Was President Jimmy Carters Largest Political Vulnerability, And His Lack Of Success Freeing Them Ultimately Sealed His Fate At The Ballot Box. In Return For Keeping Americans In Captivity Until Reagan Assumed The Oath Of Office, The Republicans Had Secretly Funneled Arms To Iran.
